The Golden Cut Teaninich 2015 Port Wood Cask Finish
The Coopers Choice
This 10-year-old Teaninich single malt was distilled in 2015 and matured in American oak before being finished in Port casks. The Teaninich distillery is prized for its crisp, grassy spirit, which serves as a clean canvas for the rich, jammy layers imparted by the fortified wine maturation.
"The Golden Cut Collection" is a premium series within The Coopers Choice range, curated to showcase small batches and single casks where the spirit and the wood have reached a point of perfect harmony. The name refers to the "heart of the run," the most desirable portion of the distillation, and the series is designed to deliver a bold, honest, and unadulterated experience. Every bottling in this collection is presented at a robust 50% ABV, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring, ensuring the true character of the cask remains intact.
The nose offers summer fruits, dark jammy currants, and nut butter.
The palate is rich and juicy, with layers of cassis, dark berries, and toasted nuts.
It concludes with a finish of sweet malt and cakey spice.
This bottling is limited to just 360 bottles.
The Story of The Coopers Choice
The Coopers Choice is an award-winning range from The Vintage Malt Whisky Company, founded in 1992 by Brian Crook. After serving as the export director for legendary distilleries like Bowmore and Auchentoshan, Brian set out to share Scotland's finest hidden gems with the world. Today, the family legacy continues under the leadership of his son, Andrew Crook, maintaining the same hand-shake agreements and deep-rooted industry friendships that secure their access to the world’s rarest casks.
The brand is a dedicated homage to the Cooper, the highly skilled craftsman whose mastery of oak and iron has shaped the Scotch industry for centuries. The Vintage Malt Whisky Company remains a small, independent powerhouse in a market of multinationals, rooted in the philosophy that the best whiskies are those that honour tradition while embracing the creative possibilities of unique cask finishes.
